The Division of Neighborhood Preservation (DNP) conducts site
assessments of thousands of buildings each year through four borough offices to
determine whether they are at risk, develop individual treatment plans for the
buildings, and coordinate the implementation of the treatment plans, DNPs
activities encourage owners to pay their taxes, refer owners to education and
support programs including anti-abandonment training and provide assistance with
rehabilitation loan
financing , refer buildings for targeted code enforcement when
necessary, and review distressed properties for exclusion from Department of
Finance tax lien sales. DNP also coordinates several stages of the third party transfer process to convey
distressed tax delinquent buildings to new responsible owners using an
inremforeclosure mechanism. Finally, DNP oversees the work of
Neighborhood Preservation Consultants who extend DNPs reach into communities
throughout New York City by providing a variety of housing services.
